i just setup a win2k adv. server, and i sat up DNS and DHCP....

i sat up DHCP ip pool of 192.168.0.5-192.168.0.99
and authorized the DHCP server, and the servers IP is 192.168.0.100

DNS is set up..... but the only way to get my win2k pro test machine to join my domain was to type in the dns ip of 192.168.0.100, then i could join, i want it so i dont need to type in anything when users join...

when i log onto the domain with my test machine, and run ipconfig /all, it says its IP is 192.168.0.2 and has a gateway also, the .2 ip is not in the ip pool and no gateway is even set up......

why isnt DHCP working? what else do i have to do?
thanks for the help
 
You should not have to type the IP of the server when adding a machine to the domain. You should be able to just type the netbios name of the machine or the FQDN (dc1.domain.com). So the first thing you need to look at is your DNS setup.

As far as the DHCP problem, are you sure that the client machine doesnt have a staic IP and gateway set up? Where would it get the .2 and the gateway?
 
Ok, two things, did you set the DNS assignment in your DHCP scope options? and of course, it doesnt sound like your client is even setup to join a domain .. if you havent explicitly set it to join a domain, right click "my computer", hit "properties", hit the "Network Identification" tab and go into the "Network ID", you will need to supply your Domain admin account to allow it to join .. well I hope this helps ..

where do i setup the DNS assignment in your DHCP scope options???

i just want it so when someone wants to joing the domain, they need no IP or DNS...

i know how to join people to the domain also
 
i got it to obtain an IP ok, and im not sure about DNS, it must now...
but when i goto join a domain, and i put in the user/pass
it says inncorect user or pass, and i know they are right, checked and rechecked........... so whats the problem???
 
what's the ip of your DC ? Ok, most likely you have set the name server, did you make the scope using the wizard? if so, it will have asked you if you wanted to configure scope options, you have to say yes there.. you can set this manually but the wizard is easier in this case .. if you didnt, its cool, just remake the scope.
Now, the fact that it asked you for a pass means that it should have found the domain. Make another administrator account, call it "god" or "root" or whatever you want, and see if it works with that. You do have the DNS service installed a running correct? you can check this by pinging ur server's FQDN (the full url) , from ur server is fine, and if it returns a reply then it is working .. well hope this helps ..

hmm, i think the error was, i had set on the password of the user, reset when user logs on, and i unchecked it, and they were able to join the domain.

so is DNS working now? i know DHCP on the IP is...... but what about DNS?
